The BackupBucket has disabled public access for all the objects, as you don’t want any of the files to be publicly accessible by mistake.
The template defines two resources: the BackupBucket and BackupUser.
And while you could create and configure it by hand, it will be easier to provision it with a simple CloudFormation template. To store backups in an S3 bucket, you need to have such a bucket. On macOS, you can install them with Homebrew: brew install rclone parallel Provision AWS resources If you are interested only in the script and usage instructions, you can find the link to the GitHub repository at the end. Backup to S3 scriptīelow is the full, detailed explanation. The result is the script I wrote for backing up files to the S3 bucket.
This is especially true if you want to archive data and don’t touch it too often. But then I remembered that I work on AWS, and Amazon S3 storage is cheap. Looking for personal cloud backup solutions, I found some overcomplicated, some expensive, and one or two reasonable services. This, however, is just one copy kept right next to my laptop. I have an external disk with documents and photos archive. On the internet, you can find a 3-2-1 backup strategy: The question about the personal backup system is raised from time to time on Hacker News. But I already had the script, I had fun writing it, I will continue using it, so I decided to share it. Then I did the research again, and the results were quite different – this time, I found a few reasonable services I could use. So I wrote down the backup script myself. There must be a good, easy-to-use cloud backup service, right? But everything I found was too complex and/or expensive. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I started with research. And it costs me only $3.70 per TiB per month. After some fine-tuning and solving a bunch of edge-cases, it’s limited mainly by the disk read and my internet upload speed. In need to backup my personal files in the cloud, I wrote a script that archives the data into the Amazon S3 bucket.
